Time remains for cool-season lawn planting
Q: Is there time to plant a cool-season lawn?
A: Early October still affords some great weather for establishing cool-season lawns in most of Oklahoma, but don’t make the mistake of waiting too late into the month. Daytime highs in the low- to mid-80s and nighttime lows in the upper 50s or low 60s coupled with moist soil are near-ideal germination conditions for cool-season turfgrasses, including tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass and the new interspecific hybrid bluegrasses. The hybrid bluegrasses are crosses between Texas and Kentucky bluegrass. Sodding of cool-season turfgrass can continue through October.
